    What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? I know the answer seems obvious, but maybe you are seeking something different out of it. I guess what I am asking is if you are going to do this the entire length of the frame or just in one area to strengthen that.

    Well I kinda figure this is a area that sees a lot of stress and I want make sure that I dont have any problems with the areas I cut out and rewelded. I am only going to reinforce this area not the entire length.

    Yup, gusseted with the ends of the box being closed in by an angle piece rather then a plain cap at a 90 degree angle.....
